I’d come to be of the same mind with you here. Which is not something I usually do! I enjoy reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to speak my mind!

I hope this is where I enter the contest. Please redirect me if it’s not:

In 2006, I brought home triplets from the hospital. Suddenly, I went from a fairly normal life to 100% immersion in Mommy-world. Fortunately, my husband and I were helped by all kinds of wonderful people, who assisted us with round-the-clock feedings, diaper changes, doctors’ appointments, dishes, yard work and much much more. But there were a few ‘mommies of multiples’ that really gave me the ‘mommy connection’ that I needed, and the encouragement that…YES, I COULD DO THIS!!!

Fast forward four years later. We moved away from Savannah, Georgia, where we lived then. Life has progressively gotten easier as the triplets are now four years old–wise, mature, schoolgoers with their own colored backpacks.

But about a month ago, a lady from Savannah called me up at my home here in Kentucky–she’s someone that my husband used to work with. She had just had twins (preemies) and was really needing some good advice and encouragement (her husband was about to get deployed too). We talk now about every week, and she asks me things, and I give her my best answer, and I just encourage her. She thanks me profusely, but here’s the truth…

…she’s helping me even more than I’m helping her, because she has allowed me to make the ‘mommy connection’ come full circle. And I can’t think of anything better!!!

I would have to say that the women in my immediate family have been and still are all influences in my mothering. Back in 2008, I was pregnant with my 1st child (girl), at 6 months I found out that she had a rare genetic disease, On Sept 25 2008, I delivered a stillborn @ 32 wks gestation. My whole family was there for me, but more so the women. I am currently 25 wks pregnant with my 2nd child, whom I believe to be my 2nd chance, and those same women in my family are there for me….Good news is that this baby is fine. Oh by the way, I’m having a boy, due date is June 7th 2010. The only thing that I want for him and that I’ve always wanted for him is a clean bill of health. As far as material matters, I have been trying to get a bracelet made for him that I used to wear as a baby and am having trouble trying to get it made. It’s called an Azabache bracelet, however, it’s a specific make.

Thank you for at least getting me to think about a mom-to-mom connection. I know exactly who drives my parenting – it is the mother of an ex-boyfriend. I will never forget him telling me how wonderful his childhood was. And I will never forget the Thanksgiving when she told me a story of a Thanksgiving years and years ago that was so tense that she almost walked out the back door. Her son never knew of the tension; he only remembers that wonderful childhood. THAT is parenting!
